Multi-functional bioactive secondary metabolites derived from endophytic fungi of marine algal origin.

Endophytic fungi from marine macroalgae are endowed with various pharmacologically active metabolites. This study mined, identified and screened endophytic fungi (EF) isolated from marine algae from the west coast of South India for screening anticancer, antioxidant and antimicrobial secondary metabolite producers. Five EF isolated from sampled marine algae were identified using morphology and ITS based identification as and After culturing 20 days on PDA medium, the ethyl acetate extracts of showed potent antimicrobial activity against with an IC value of 458.
